"Peace and quiet times at the most beautiful place we have ever been. Thank you. (M & U Hess, Switzerland)"

"Adrift exceeded all our expectations. The sheer beauty, peace and solitude made our holiday totally perfect. The cottage and decor are totally in harmony with the surrounding setting. Our few days here have been heaven on earth. Thank you so much for sharing your paradise with us. (K and R Roth, Switzerland)"

"We have been travelling in NZ for a month now and hardly ever we have seen a beautiful place/location being matched with a top end accommodation. Frequently hosts rely mainly on beautiful settings to attract guests and charge them premium rates, forgetting that the actual accommodation is an important part of the experience. Then, there is Adrift: attention to detail, good taste, good quality building and furnishings, service... and that bathroom floor heating is the icing on the cake! We had an excellent stay at all levels. You have done a great job by crating this such special place. All the best. (Carlota and Barbara, Milan -Italy and Lisbon -Portugal)"

"Thank you for sharing paradise with us. We came to explore the area but found it hard to be drawn away from our cottage. The breakfasts were a delight and we loved being able to laze around, undisturbed. The only downside? We had to leave and return to the real world. Many thanks. (Jane and Alan, England)

"Everything about Adrift has been an absolute delight to us - the hosts, the scenery, the stars, the food , the bath, and the quiet comfort of this splendid gem of a place! We have been travelling in NZ for 2 weeks, and this is our last few days. What serendipity to spend them here at Adrift, enjoying all the loveliness! Hands down the best place to get away to! And the hardest place to leave. Thanks! (A & D Pease, New York)"

"We got back our soul. (Neil and Sam, London and Wellington)"

"Have we died and gone to heaven? This is definitely a heaven on earth. We relaxed and de-stressed during our stay and your unobtrusive care and attention was great. Our stay at Adrift will stay in our minds and hearts for years to come. (Cliff and Christine, Brisbane -Australia)"

"Thank you for the peace and tranquillity we both needed. We could not have had a more perfect place to fall in love all over again. We will be back! (Lea and Simone, Nelson)"

"Quite simply this is one of the most stunning settings and peaceful surroundings we have come across on our travels - and we have seen some countries! Perfect for our honeymoon. We would love to come back one day and would certainly stay at Adrift. Your slice of paradise will come highly recommended. (Gareth and Kara, London and Hawkes Bay)"

"Waking up to this view was worth the 12,000 miles from the UK alone!"

"This is the most idyllic place we have ever been to. We would love to come back one day. The accommodation is beautifully done and has everything one could wish for. Many thanks. (D and C Barnes, London)"
